AES/EBU/SPDIF Formats
and identifies the subframe type. The next 24 time slots carry the audio
sample data, which is transmitted in a 24-bit word with the least signifi-
cant bit (LSB) first. When a 20-bit coding range is sufficient, time slots 8
to 27 carry the audio sample word with the LSB in time slot 8. Time slots
4 to 7 may be used for other applications. Under these circumstances, the
bits in time slots 4 to 7 are designated auxiliary sample bits. If the source
provides fewer bits than the interface allows (either 20 or 24), the unused
LSBs are set to logic 0.
This functionality is important when using the SPDIF receiver in com-
mon applications where there are multiple types of data to handle. If there
are PCM audio data streams as well asencoded data streams, for example a
CD audio stream and a DVD audio stream with encoded data, there is a
danger of incorrectly passing the encoded data directly to the DAC. This
results in the 'playing' of encoded data as audio, causing loud odd noises
to be played. The non-audio flag provides an easymethod to mark the this
type of data.
